Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering are rapidly developing technologies and interdisciplinary science that has made an impact on commercial and noncommercial aspects of human life. Biotechnology deals with a set of biological techniques developed through basic research and now applied to research and product development. It is the means or way of manipulating life forms (organisms) to provide desirable products for man’s use. Genetic engineering is the manipulation of genetic material, that is DNA and RNA with the objective of bringing about desired change or innovation. Today, biotechnology is being used as a tool to give plants new traits that benefit agricultural production, the environment, and human nutrition and health.
